your claim that there's less GNU in GNU/Linux seems to downplay (not realize?) the fact that every piece of free and not-so-free software that grew out of GNU and later GNU/Linux, even while reneging its ancestry, is GNU offspring. even GNU detractors were set in motion by our movement. if you wish to help our movement, please don't downplay it, but celebrate the extent, rich diversity and reach of our efforts and influence, so that it can grow further. the best leaders are not those who seek to take and control all of the action, but those who share their motives and empower others to carry it out further. the reference point is important for orientation, to not lose sight of the mission, but the breadth of reach and efforts is another essential component to bring about the changes our movement seeks to promote.
